Happy Memorial Day

[wondersofwine]

I was a war baby, born in 1944 when my father was stationed in Wyoming as an Army logistics officer. Had he been sent overseas I might not have been conceived, but he was an ROTC instructor when the United States entered the war. All three of his brothers were in combat in Europe but Dad's only overseas assignment was in the Philippines after we had retaken the islands. My sister and I used to play with a grass skirt and some fans he brought home from the Philippines or Hawaii.
